This is a rather long post, but last week
was pretty cool. On Friday I jumped on a plane and headed to Dublin. Despite only being an
hour away, it was my very first trip to Dublin and the place is beautiful!
I landed and headed to the City Centre, right next to Trinity College, and went on the hunt for
food. We went to the fabulous Alfie’s, on South Williams Street. The food
was soooooo good:
And this is what I wore for the day:
Dress: Dorothy Perkins
Cardigan: South (via very)
Belt: Dorothy Perkins
Tights: Marks and Spencer
Shoes: So Fabulous (via Very)
We did a lot of walking and window-shopping,
before heading back home to relax.
On Saturday, we took the Dublin bus trip.
The weather was quite windy, but we headed to the back, so we would have better
photo opportunities. The tour took us all around the City and the surrounding
areas, including where the president lives (very fancy as you can imagine!).
The weather took a turn for the worst and it began to snow, so we made our way
to the front of the bus where there was shelter.
We had a lovely Chinese buffet for lunch (I
forget the name, unfortunately), and then walked around the ever-famous Temple
Bar. It’s not an actual bar, more of a cluster of cool bars, eateries and
galleries – there are so many pictures, but I think this one is pretty cool:
This was me by day:
Dress: Lady Vintage London
Cardigan: South (via Very)
Belt: Dorothy Perkins
Tights: Marks and Spencer
Shoes: So Fabulous (via Very)
Now, you can never go a day without cake,
and the Queen of Tarts is the cutest little café:
I had the chocolate cake (which I’m ashamed
to say, I didn’t finish)
Later that evening, dinner consisted of the
most delicious burgers from Captain Americas, on Graton Street. There may or
may not have been a cocktail or two, but you can’t prove anything if there are
no pictures! ;p However, here is a
picture of me by night:
Everything (bar shoes and tights): Very
Tights: Boots
Shoes: New Look
Sunday was my last day and probably my
favourtie day too. It was such a beautiful day; the sun was shining so going on
an adventure was the aim of the day. We drove up
to Killiney.
The People's Park Dun Laoghaire had a predominantly food market. I wanted
everything!
But
then…then, we headed to the coast. I *LOVE* being by the coast. The water was gorgeous,
the day was clear, and you could see the mountains with their snowy tops – it
was breathtaking! Don’t believe me?
Here’s
my outfit for the day:
Skirt: Joy
Shirt: Jumble sale (I
think)
Vest: Very
Belt: Dorothy Perkins
Gloves: Dorothy Perkins
Tights: Marks and Spencer
Shoes: So Fabulous (via
Very)
Our
last stop was Johnny Fox's. It’s the highest pub in Ireland and right near the
mountains! Apparently, it’s more of a tourist attraction now, but the interior
is still lovely and quaint.
I
had a wonderful time and can't wait to get back!
‘Til
next time folks!
